Kim Soo Hyun’s Interview with Kim Yoo Jung
Amidst the controversy, a vintage interview with Kim Soo Hyun is garnering significant attention. This interview occurred during a promotional event for the 2012 drama “The Moon Embracing the Sun,” where he was joined by his co-stars Han Ga-in and child actress Kim Yoo Jung. In the interview, the 24-year-old Soo Hyun made a remark about 13-year-old Yoo Jung that is now being scrutinized.
When asked about working with Kim Yoo Jung, Soo Hyun made a rather unsettling comment: “I used to think of her as too much of a baby. But after seeing her in person, she seems very confident and mature. I can’t wait to see her grow, and I expect we will soon be partners in a drama.” Although this remark did not raise eyebrows at the time, it has sparked criticism on social media in light of current events, with some users labeling it as ‘creepy.’
Soo Hyun’s Deleted Birthday Post

On that day, Soo Hyun had shared celebratory posts thanking his fans, which have now drawn backlash online, with many users expressing their disappointment and frustration. Several netizens have questioned the appropriateness of his celebratory content on a day marking such a tragic event, suggesting that the coinciding dates are far from chance.
Critics are pointing out that Kim Soo Hyun celebrated while Kim Sae Ron passed away, stating, “Flooding the internet with birthday articles while Kim Sae Ron’s death date coincides with his birthday… he was celebrating when she died.”
As the controversy continues to escalate, criticism against Kim Soo Hyun is intensifying. Following the aunt’s accusations, messages from Kim Sae Ron regarding a 700 million Won debt have come to light, along with her alleged unreleased statements related to their relationship.
